Netflix says it 'updated' new password sharing policies that had users melting down

After intense backlash surrounding what appeared to be the first signs of the company's upcoming password sharing crackdown, Netflix clarified no official announcements have been made outside of the current test countries.
Last week's updates appeared to show the company would require users to identify a "primary location" for all accounts that live within the same household
Netflix said it would use information such as IP addresses, device IDs, and account activity to determine whether a device signed into the account is connected to the primary location.

When asked which platforms users would use more frequently if they eliminated Netflix, the top streaming alternatives included Amazon Prime Video (42%), Hulu (35%), and Disney+ (26%).

"Later in Q1, we expect to start rolling out paid sharing more broadly. Today’s widespread account sharing (100M+ households) undermines our long term ability to invest in and improve Netflix, as well as build our business," the company wrote.
"The reality is people have taken advantage of it. Sharing your Netflix account with 20 other people is probably not what the company had in mind, [but] if people are reasonable and share this with five, six people in their family? I think it's going to work out."
